01 · THE DISPATCH

Yonatan Shalev of the 'Beyachad' party accused former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot of being a security risk as long as he does not join their political camp. According to i24, Shalev said: 'Every day that Eisenkot does not join us is a danger to the security of the state.' The remark is a sharp political attack on Eisenkot, who lost his son and two nephews during the current war. Shalev's comments come amid ongoing political maneuvering ahead of potential coalition talks. The context includes a previous accusation by Minister Nir Barkat, who labeled Eisenkot a leftist who believes in a Palestinian state — a remark The Zioneer reported at 19:09 tonight. Eisenkot has not responded to the latest statement.
